Simple predictions of the sets of genes that may be expected to be under selection if dingoes are now untamed (Hypothesis 1) or if they are feralized (Hypothesis 2). A. Illustrates the sets of selected genes on each lineage including unconscious selection (a), artificial selection (b), untaming (c) and feralisation (d). B. Illustrates the sets of genes that may be seen when conducting pairwise tests of selection. Note here, we do not know whether the full set of genes involved in taming is required for untaming (a ≈ c). Further, we do not know whether feralisation involves the full set of genes involved in unconscious plus artificial selection (a + b ≈ c)
